Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

How great this is
I am a long time photojournalist who embraces technology, but has a hard time understanding it. I have difficulty making sense of code and all, but decided to make a website a little over a year ago. I visited a local web hosting company and they quoted me nearly two grand to create and host what I outlined. I was shocked and decided I would have a go at doing it myself, with little expectations. I did a lot of research and liked what I had seen from SmugMug. While russdillingham.com is not the fanciest site in the world, it is something that helps display my work, better than my newspaper's website I may add. The only way I pulled this off is using help I have received from Digital Grin. I have not asked many questions myself, but when I have an issue or question, I am not the first, and simply read another post and the forum shows me the answer I am looking for. Thank's for including all the coding. Copy, paste and replacing my links and info to create the look I am after, and tadaaa. I have recommended SmugMug to a number of fellow colleagues, friends and others at workshops I have attended and given. I can't say enough about SmugMug and the help from Digital Grin. Thanks for everything!

I can't tell ya how many people I have recommended SmugMug to. Overall they are the top of the list when it comes to service. Yes I am an unashamed fan boy.

The real challenge is to keep up the quality and culture as the company grows, bu I have a feeling this will be done.
